College Council Is_,
. Thriving, Miss Park Says
_ In chapel on Monday morning, De-
~~ cember” ‘10, “President “Park: spoke about
.the College Council,* that _all- important
body about which, so little is known by
the college itself. Miss Park told us
"how the Council was started during the
“latter years of the war, to arrange some
way by which students could keep, up in
their academic work and their war work
at the same time. When that need .was
over ‘it. sank into*obscurity. for a while,
“hat it has again become very important.
There were originally eight members on
the committee, but it has now grown to!
such proportions that it is. made up of

_ the President and Dean of the college,
the Director: of Publication, the presi-
dents of the Classes, of the four Asso-
ciations, 6f the Graduate Club and of
the Non-Resident Club, representativés of
the Faculty and Wardens, the Director

of Halls, the Director. of Athletics, and'|.

the Editor-in-Chief ofsthe News. . Thus
information can be referred ‘to and given
‘by. all the organizations in the college.
~The Council has a long and informat}
meeting once a month at which it dis-
cusses extremely varied \_ subjects.
Changes have actually arisen. ftom these
discussions, for in 1923 a Curriculum.
Committee _was suggested from \ whose
first report our present system of less
required ~work..and one major. ‘subject
"arose,

At preseht cuts and week-ends are
being “discussed, but the President and
the Dean and the Faculty are holding
back any changes untjl after*the next
meeting of -the Council. The changes in
the calendar. this year ar@a result of last
year’s discussion. :

Miss Park then mentioned a few ot
the other subjects that‘came up last year.
Among them were Mental Hygiene,

Freshman Week,’ a - separate hali for. |

to Goodhart Hall, May Day, and ‘the

on your~ part could possibly make any:
difference to a-person who would like to

proof of the worth of: being friendly:

be friends with you,

You may think a person unattractive,

You may: be

crowd,’ and yet perhaps this same person,
will keep on. just being pleasant and
thoughtful and you will begin to like her
be.ter and see her many good points in-
siead of merely ‘the qualities which an-
noyed you. And the: best’ part of it. all
is, that as you change your attitude to-
ward her, she changes foo, and becomes
he person you think she is, even if she
nay have to struggle with some reforms
in her character and attitude.
_ Friendship Helps

“Thus in being friendly and open’ to
friendship’ you-are-not-only making the
most of your opportunities to know other
people, but at the s@ife time “you are
really doing something for other people,
-for_the_mere.fact of knowing that you
are not indifferent to hef ‘interests ~and
thoughts, gives a person a feeling of self-

confidence and security in her own
powers. ;
“And it is not only the on with
no close friends to whom thi lies, but
to ‘very many~people-whom ink are

self-sufficient and who hide their feelings
of loneliness or shyness under this guise.
It is quite true that no one can be close
friends with everybody. This is not ex-
pected, but it: costs very little to be
friendly and willing to share with others
anything that. you can. And certainly in
college there are many opportugities for
this.”

 

‘H. Chapin,’’15, Chinese Student

Not long ago Miss Hefen Chapin, Bryn
Mawr, 1915, visited the campus -where
she was formerly an undergraduate, and
spoke to the Journal Club in Archaeology
on Buddhist Iconography. Miss Chapin

possible, .

Every kind of student is represented
on the Council, Miss Park pointed out,
every College interest, and the adminis-
tration as well. This body cannot legis-
late, however, but it is in this very lack
of power that its real power lies. It gets |

meetings, and though it was created with-

= Teze.~ Sone
This Council arbitrates on the chaduat

of Bryn Mawr alumnae. For some time
she held a position in the Boston Museum
of Fine Arts, where:she studied Chinese
and Japanese art in the museum, and the
Chinese and Japanese languages outside.
When she had learned as much of these
latter as Boston could teach her Miss
Chapin; with admirable determination, se-
cured a place in the consular: service in
“Shanghai, “where she- could © stu: dy the
language as_well_as the art_of both coun-
|tries at close quarters. She was also em-

 

ofthe students, not as right or wrone, |
but in general, and as to academic work.
‘Jt therefore must have a general basis
“of agreement, not in detail, for this would :
be impossible, but it must agree as to a
definition of college; that is to say, who;
shall come and what can bé expected.
\This must be true,. because if the ends
are different, the means would naturally
be quite diverse. When the plane~ is
established, there is no part of the imme-
diate question that cannot-be discussed.
Fortunately the Couneil has never
failed to arrive at a like decision con-
cerning what~college is, for. ~ President
Park deprecated the fact that thé num-
bers must necessarily be so limited, but

she concluded, that its work was decidedly
fruitful.

Some people may like to live in a world
of Nihilists such as those .in Russia in
the ’70’s when the belief in; being perfeét-
ly frank led them to think it wrong to
smile at a person or give him a friendly
greeting unless he was a_ particular
friend, for it was insincere. I think most
of us like a more cheerful atmosphere.

When she could get away
duties, Miss Chapin traveled in the Far
East. She spent some time in a Buddhist:
Monastery, living as the monks did, and
winning the title of ‘the “first” bobbed
Buddhist” nun. While becoming learned
‘n its art she was strongly’ attracted: to
che tenets of Buddhism,

On her way back from the Far East,
Miss Chapin stopped in London, where
she did valuable work in deciphering in-
scriptions and clearing up obscure points
‘n eastern iconography. At present she
is back at the Boston Museum, but. in
March she intends to’ return to’ Japan
by way of Europe and India. She has
been given a scholarship by Swarthmore
College of $2000 a year for three years
to continue her researches. In a year or
two or maybe jmore we may expect her
back. to add more laurels to her own
name and to that of Bryn Mawr.

Lacrosse

(Specially contributed by Janet Seeley
and Sally ‘Longstreth. )

Perhaps no sport has been called upon
to pass a more stringent test of popularity
than lacrosse. Even hockey -would have

but slight chance af survival: if - those
playing it had to submit to a previous
season devoted entirely to stickwork:
lacrosse, since its introduction four years
ago, has known a steady -increase iti
popularity, and, despite heavy snows and
